Good at Nostalgia

I have a great memory, so I've always been good at nostalgia.
I remember the first day of middle school. My mom told me "say hi to everyone and ask their names". I did.
I remember the summer day when I went on the bike ride with Jason and Connor to Snoasis. It was new that year. I thought they were so weird, but so was I.
I've always been good at nostalgia.
I remember the year that we started playing night games on my street. I was in charge.
I remember the made up animals, the french drama and the PE's where we would just watch March Madness and I would say silent thank you's.
I've always been good at nostalgia.
I remember when I thought I would marry my sister's best friend and she would marry mine.
I remember how big my friend group was. We would sit in my front room trying to decide what to do and end up talking until they had to go home.

One day I will harness the power of nostalgia. I want to make people cry because of it. I want to make them feel the emotion.
I want them to remember, the way I do.
Because I've always been good at nostalgia.
